Spicy Rosemary Roasted Almonds

These spicy rosemary roasted almonds are a great healthy snack for the holidays. Perfect for holiday parties or get togethers.

A few Friday facts.

Fact #1: I used the word “sexy” two times in a presentation yesterday to a bunch of Texas facilities guys in the span of 20 minutes. If the fact that some ‘young’ (that’s a relative term considering I spent Wednesday night plucking grey hairs out of my head) woman was telling them how to do their job didn’t make them grossly uncomfortable, I’m pretty sure my word choice did.

Fact #2: Put me in a room with a bunch of southern accents and within 10 minutes I will be talking like I spent my whole life in South Carolina. I’m not sure where the “ya’lls” and “ma’ams” come from but apparently somewhere in this born and bred New Yorker there lies a hidden twang.

Fact #3: Cabela’s is considered an outing in Texas. We saw husbands downstairs shopping for hunting camo and guns, wives sitting upstairs in the restaurant area breastfeeding and kids looking at all the stuffed animals daddy shoots on display in an almost zoo like setting. I can almost hear the conversation in their house “Honey! Pack up the baby, we’re going to Cabela’s tonight!” You might be wondering why Kari and I were at Cabela’s to begin with? For cheesecake. Obviously.

Comments

These sound amazing – but look so simple! I’m obsessed with rosemary right now. I think cashews are my favorite – but it’s harder to find them unroasted/unsalted. Cabela’s isn’t that popular in Pittsburgh and I’m not too outdoors-y, so I think I’ve only been there once (a long time ago!).

OMG, I remember going to Dallas a few years ago on business and the place my client chose for dinner had the biggest portions for dinner and the vegetables were covered in cheese. I’m not sure I would survive long there.

My favorite nut of all time are pecans. Raw, roasted, candied, in pie, on top of ice cream. Stop me or I’ll start sounding like Bubba from Forrest Gump!

This makes an awesome snack! I’m always hard pressed for healthy snacks when I’m traveling…now I’m ready to squeeze time in to make these before I head home for Thanksgiving. Hopefully no one falls asleep on me…definitely awkward!
